Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1620 Desolate

Zorion stood up and said, "Let's go." Then he turned around and left with Rossie. Raeleigh saw them

off before returning to Fragrance Garden. When Raeleigh entered, she looked at Jepherson without

saying a word. In the end, it was Jepherson who broke the silence. "If I am unable to make use of my

friendship with Jacky, then I will have to make him my enemy. He's like a fierce tiger charging down the

mountain. He can kill people at any time. If I can work shoulder to shoulder with him, it would be best. I

am able to tame him, he will bring me good luck."

"Waverly Village is a small world with its own set of rules for survival."

"And for someone like Jacky, he's equivalent to a king there. No one is able to challenge him at the

moment."

"At the same time, he has already accumulated a lot of power and is ready to take action."

"Waverly Village is basically like a small dot in the map, while Capital City is like a battleground. Sooner

or later, he's bound to end up in Capital City."

"I've already lost Santiago. I can't lose Jacky."

"He has Waverly Village as his backing. I know he'll soon end up in Capital City. If he can move up the

ranks, then he will have nothing to fear."

"People change. Those who prefer sitting in the dark enjoy being reckless and unbridled. They are

allowed to behave that way because nobody will know what they've done."

"However, those who prefer being out in the open have to behave themselves because even if they

killed an ant, it would be known by others, not to mention killing a person. It's best for Jacky to be out in

the open."

"For the sake of Capital City, for sake of the Harvey family and myself, I have to find a suitable way to

hold on to Jacky."

"I'm afraid Deanna's character will be completely destroyed."

Raeleigh suddenly asked, "Was it part of your plan to pair Deanna up with Jacky?"

Jepherson eyes were sparkling. He was surprised at how intelligent Raeleigh was. At the same

time, he was worried because she was too smart for her own good. She was a businesswoman and car

designer, there was no need to be too smart.

But he liked it very much!

"No, it wasn't part of the plan. I take Deanna's happiness very seriously. I do admit, in the back of my

mind, I somehow knew that Jacky would be captured by Deanna's charm."

"How come?"

"Some people lead a complicated life and Jacky is one of them. He grew up in a totally different

environment. He has encountered a lot of hardships in his life, which made him the person he is today.

Something you and I would not understand."

"And then, there's another group of people who just do not give a damn about the world. They're not

aware of the suffering and poverty that happens around them. Deanna is one of them."

"These two people are complete opposites. However, they somehow fit."

"I feel that your life is much more complicated than Jacky's. His life is nothing compared to yours."

Raeleigh did not know whether she should admire Jepherson for preserving through so many

adversities in his life. He was like a monster at times.

He had unknowingly set up a trap and Jacky was slowly walking into it.

"Jacky and I will have a fight. However, in order to gain the people's trust, he'll pretend to surrender and

let me win."

"How sure are you?"

"I'm very sure. Jacky isn't a fool. He knows what I'm doing. All he wants is to make a name in Capital

City. In return, he is willing to submit to me."

"How come you're so sure of everything?"

"It's just my gut feeling. Judging by how organized things are in Waverly Village, I have no doubts that

he will be able to manage Capital City well. I will not have to worry about anything."

"I do not trust anyone other than Jacky."

"Aren't you afraid that Jacky will join forces with Zorion to retaliate against you?"

"Jacky is very loyal. He's the type of guy who's willing to risk his life for his friends."

"He is even willing to give someone who betRhysed him a way out. This proves how loyal he is."

"He's not Jacky if he is willing to sacrifice his loyalty over his life. Otherwise, the Atkinson family would

not have agreed to let him marry Deanna."

"You're very frightening."

Raeleigh spoke frankly. Jepherson smiled and said, "No one has ever dared to say that to me."

Raeleigh remained silent. Jepherson said, "The reason why Jacky wants to come to Capital City is that

he knows, one day, he would not be able to protect Waverly Village anymore."

"There are three roads in Waverly Village leading into Capital City. Although it might look like a simple

village, once all the roads are opened, it will merge and become the only road into Capital City. This

road is a must-have and everyone would want to reap the benefits."

"People who enjoyed living in the dark will definitely plot against those out in the open."

"A human only has a pair of hands and eyes as well as one brain. It is impossible for Jacky to guard

against so many people. He had to be God to protect everyone from getting harmed."

"This is the reason why he did not bring his children back to Waverly Village."

"For people like him, tomorrow is not guaranteed. This is why Deanna might be in danger whenever

she was with him."

"But then again, he would not stay with the Atkinson family."

"Even though it would be the safest place."

"Why do you think a person who is circumspect and far-sighted like Jacky would want to come to

Capital City?"

Raeleigh answered thoughtfully, "Because he wants to protect Waverly Village?"

"You're right. He wants to use Capital City's forces to protect Waverly Village. That way, he would be

able to link the two places together and they would be able to help each other."

"People in Capital City would be delighted to help the people of Waverly Village and the village would

have Capital City's protection. It's a win-win situation."

"However, if Jacky wants to enter Capital City, he needs a solid reason."

"Although whatever happened between Deanna and Jacky was a coincidence, it was totally

unexpected. Though it is a happy coincidence."

"It's just that..."

"It's just that the Atkinson family isn't willing to become Jacky's stepping stone. Moreover, the Atkinson

family is one of the most dominant families in Capital City. Jacky's arrival will cause the Atkinson

family's status to be unstable," Raeleigh said.

Jepherson smiled. "You're half right."

"What about the other half?"

"The good and bad cannot co-exist. Jacky married the daughter of a gangster but he wants to be a

government official. Isn't it a joke? That is also quite worrying. That is why Zorion rejected my idea. It's

like shooting his own people."

Raeleigh was speechless.

Raeleigh fixed her eyes on Jepherson's bright eyes, looking shocked.

After listening to Jepherson's thought process, Raeleigh came to realize that Jepherson was very good

at planning. It seemed like he was able to predict what was going to happen. What about her?

Raeleigh asked as if she just realized something, "Is there anything you can't predict?" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Jepherson stared at Raeleigh with a smirk. "Well, I do know that trees carry wind and occasionally a

passerby will decide to take a break and sit under the tree. However, I'm not sure whether it would be a

man or a woman."

"I'm just trying to beat someone at their own game. Whether or not it will really happen... well, you're

the only one who knows!"

Raeleigh pursed her lips and stared blankly at him. "You may be good at predicting things, but you

can't predict when you're going to die. You can't predict when you're going to get married. There's a lot

of things you can't predict!"

"Haha..."

Jepherson suddenly laughed. Although his smile was charming, he looked a little lonely and desolate!
